IRC business

Hey Miccas... it's Betsy from AboutUs.org... I like that IRC chat room we have going on, but I have a couple of hang-ups with it. 1. I constantly get kicked off. 2. When I get kicked off, and then get back on, "betsy" is still up, and now I'm some "WebUser###" name.

Any thoughts? Thanks! Betsy

Hi. This is usually caused by some error with your internet connection. 
This is unfortunate that it is happening to you. But, if you register your name you can retrieve it
later on by typing /msg nickserv recover USERNAME PASSWORD Miccas 17:58, 22 November 2006 (PST)

web irc

What's the link for teh web irc? It might be good to post that link on your user page where you talk about developing it. I've searched for it and cannot find it. Thanks! TedErnst 06:08, 29 November 2006 (PST)

Found it (Thanks to Mark)! LiveChat TedErnst 14:50, 29 November 2006 (PST)

Hey Michael

Several months ago Simon Koldyk changed around the page... moving over active people. You are certainly welcome to move yourself over! I believe I put a link on the top to let people move over. RecentChanges patrol :-) Best, MarkDilley

Hello Michael, there is a movement afoot to create a new version of the AboutUsLogo. I'd love it if you would come to AboutUsLogo and participate in creating this important decision about the look/feel for our site, after all ItsYourWiki! Warm Regards, Brandon CS Sanders

Storyteller's Bazaar

Hello MiCCAS,

Have you paid a visit to TheStorytellersBazaar yet? If not, please do. It's jam packed with all sorts of writing activities. Read some of the contributions and hopefully they will inspire you to contribute too. The more you contribute the better the site will become. Come and have a look and enjoy. Tanwir Shah

"Is IRC on the decline?"

I found this and thought of you. Best, Nathan ^(talk) / 23:35, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

No no, that's not what I meant. Just because I link to something doesn't necessarily mean I share the same opinion. Nathan ^(talk) / 00:38, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

WhoWeAre

Hi,

I would just like to tell you about the WhoWeAre consensus poll. This is a unique opportunity for all community members to discuss and decide what AboutUs is and more importantly what role we, the community, plays.

The discussion is still in its initial stages and there are a handful of people involved in this discussion. But it's not enough. Every one of us has a stake in this process. We all need to air our views. Our opinions will make a difference. We cannot and must not let a handful of people define us. We must speak out and contribute because we are being defined and I for one would like to have a say in how I am being defined.

Please contribute to this really important project. Without you it cannot successfully create a good definition of who we are. Tanwir Shah

Howdi HO!

Hey MiCCAS, I haven't seen you on IRC or the wiki for quite a while. How are things going? We just had some wiki-geek t-shirts made "diff to penultimate revision" and we'd like to send you a couple. Let me know what sizes you'd like and what address to send them to. Also, what do you think of our new logo? - Scott Keeler or

AnnualCommunityReview

Hi Michael, would like to invite you to participate in some conference calls we are having. I think it would be great if you would like to participate :-) Best, MarkDilley

NewSkin Beta Preview

Hello Michael!

We've noticed your contributions and are glad to be on the AboutUs team with you! As an ActiveMember your energy and ideas determine our future direction. One way that ActiveMembers stay "in the loop" is to participate in the beta previews of large new changes to the site before they are generally released.

Today we're starting a limited beta preview of an earthy NewSkin intended to reflect the alive and growing AboutUs community. The NewSkin is designed to feel wholesome and connected with the real world. This choice was made to reassure the many folks who feel that the internet is a "scary place" where mean people hide behind fake identities and shout insults at each other. We hope that the NewSkin evokes our values in a way that helps visitors and members alike feel grounded in true community.

We'd love your help putting the NewSkin through its paces! To give it a whirl you'll need to be logged in. Once you are logged in, go to "my preferences" | "skin" and select "design". Don't forget to then click the "save" button! You can always go back to the current skin by selecting "aboutus" via the same steps.

Your feedback on the new look for aboutus will help ensure that it has a maximally positive impact when we roll it out. Thanks for being a valuable member of the community, we look forward to your feedback on the NewSkin page!

Warm Regards,
the DevelopmentTeam
